The students through their commitment were able to brew four different beers. Although, any of the beer didn’t win this year, UNISA was able to grab position of “the best mentor of year” which was received by Dr Kabelo Ledwaba. The students were requested to write up about his mentorship throughout the brewing project which has led to winning this special award. The department of Chemical and Materials Engineering would like to congratulate Dr Ledwaba (Picture:4) and his team for flying UNISA flag high. We believe that they will do better in next coming competitions and come with more awards.
